Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information generation of Capn8-/- mice, that are fertile and whose gastric mucosae appears normal. However, the mutant mice are susceptible to gastric mucosal injury induced by ethanol administration, and the Capn8-/- stomach shows significant decreases in both calpains 9 and 8, and the same was true for Capn9-/-. Effects of calpain 8 deficiency on mucous granule formation and secretion, overview Mus musculus

additional information Mus musculus calpain 8/nCL-2 and calpain 9/nCL-4 constitute an active protease complex, G-calpain, in which both molecules are essential for activity, and that is involved in gastric mucosal defense. Calpains 8 and 9 are regulated differently from each other and from conventional calpains and, thus, have potentially important, specific functions in the gastrointestinal tract. Calpains 8 and 9 are molecular chaperones for each other, overview ?
